Automatic Espresso Machine Is Awesome
The Saeco Odea Go Plus Automatic Espresso Machine is one of those 'luxury' items that I wish I got a long time ago. It's so easy and effortless to get my shots of espresso, coffee, Americano, etc, that it doesn't even make sense for me to visit a cafe most days.
Truth be told, I can manually make a better cup - but I'm just too lazy to. Sure, baristas call it an art - but its definitely something I'd prefer to pay a pro to do well rather than do it myself. This makes it too easy to get a decent cup. The only thing I should have done was upgrade to the double boiler model.
If you drink a lot of coffee, espresso, etc at Starbucks, this makes a whole lot of sense - financially even. With how many cups I've had from this machine so far, its more than paid for itself in the short time I've had it.
An even fancier machine now on sale. Refurbished though.
